"I did this painting when I first arrived at Nanatuck, our annual art colony in Port Clyde, Maine.
The lighthouse grounds were covered in purple wildflowers.
Later in the summer the colors change to yellows and blues, then the red roses bloom,
and then the warm shades of autumn are reflected in the drying grasses.
Like life, the landscape is ever-changing."

" A little down time on a two week painting trip with John Seerey-Lester, his wife, Suzie,
